Additional Comments:
Current PC purchased from yoyotech in 2011: intel i5 760, overclocked to 4GHz, ASUSTek P7P55D-E motherboard, Kingston Hyper X 8gb DDR3 ram (1600MHz), 2x Radeon HD 6850 in SLI.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
Feel like it's time to upgrade, I want to be able to run newer games on high resolutions, and since I got this 1440p monitor, my computer has struggled to keep up. Also Fallout 4 has been basically unplayable, unless I go to 720p, which just looks awful.
So in summary, I'm looking for advice on which parts to upgrade for the most efficient boost to performance.
